The document describes a wearable drowning detection device called the iSwimband. It aims to prevent drowning by monitoring swimmers and alerting caregivers if a swimmer has been submerged for too long. Drowning is a serious risk, with an average of 10 people drowning every day in the USA, particularly for young children. The iSwimband uses a wristband and headband with sensors to monitor swimmers and send alerts to a connected smartphone if they have been underwater for longer than the set time limit. It aims to provide an additional layer of safety during swimming activities.
Derek Batey founded NueVue after seeing an Apple employee clean a device screen with a cloth and wondering if a case could do more than just hold a device. After research, NueVue developed cases with microfiber linings that clean screens and kill germs. NueVue offers protective cases for smartphones and tablets that clean screens with each insertion and removal of the device and provide antimicrobial protection. The company aims to create fashionable, functional cases that maintain clean, germ-free devices.
MonBaby is an award-winning baby monitor that attaches to a baby's clothing like a button to track breathing movements and alert parents if breathing stops or if the baby rolls onto its stomach. It aims to address the problem that traditional monitors may not alert parents in time if breathing issues or rollovers occur without sound. The small, universal design of MonBaby allows an affordable price compared to competitors and no extra costs for different baby sizes. The company is working to expand MonBaby's features and develop additional health monitoring devices.
This company has over 30 years of experience in micro-miniature metal stamping. They have a 80,000 square foot facility with 70 presses and over 40 certified toolmakers. They offer full design, prototyping, and production services. Their quality system is ISO9001 and TS16949 registered and they operate 3 shifts per day 7 days a week.

This document discusses Aboriginal community development and leadership. It begins by outlining some of the challenges faced by Aboriginal leaders, including a lack of formal training for many leaders and increasing responsibilities. It then discusses the importance of developing Aboriginal leaders through lifelong learning processes. Several studies are cited that examine Aboriginal leadership development and identify both Western and Indigenous knowledge as important. The document concludes by discussing the concept of "wise practices" in Aboriginal communities, which focus on reconnecting with traditions and cultural practices to strengthen communities in the face of historical trauma and challenges.

This document provides an agenda for the 2013 NDPA Annual Symposium held from March 13-15 at the Doubletree Bahia Mar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The agenda includes general sessions on topics like drowning prevention, shallow water blackout, supervision barriers and entrapment, marketing strategies, and open water safety. Breakout sessions cover additional topics like public school drowning prevention programs, task force development, beach rescues, stand-up paddleboard safety, and ice/water rescue incidents. Social events include a welcome reception, dessert reception, and closing reception at the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Optional post-conference workshops include a community outreach water safety festival and rescue technique workshops.
This document describes a smart bracelet designed to remotely monitor babies' vital signs in real time and alert caregivers to potential health issues or safety hazards. The bracelet measures a baby's temperature, heart rate, sleep patterns and more. It sends daily reports and can predict conditions based on saved data. It aims to reduce child deaths and injuries by allowing remote monitoring anywhere within a home or from outside. The founders have over 10 years of experience launching products in multiple countries. They plan to raise $250,000 initially to develop an MVP and test the market.

Current and Future Directions of Internet of ThingsDr. Mazlan Abbas
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Mazlan Abbas on current and future directions of the Internet of Things (IoT). The presentation discusses the history and enabling technologies of IoT, including sensors, bandwidth, processing power, and wireless coverage. It outlines how IoT can be used from basic monitoring to advanced autonomous applications. Key benefits are improved performance, reduced costs, new products/revenue, and better customer service. However, integrating data from multiple sources, automated data collection, and analyzing data pose challenges. The presentation envisions future directions like consumer IoT applications, quantified self through wearables, lifelogging to digitally archive personal memories and experiences, and thought-controlled computing using brain-computer interfaces.
This document summarizes how an oyster farmers' research and development levy was invested in 2014. The largest portions (36% and 26%) went to breeding better oysters and managing/protecting against disease. It discusses that in 2011, three Australian states formed Oysters Australia to coordinate R&D projects using funds from farmers' levies and matching funds from other partners. Oysters Australia will now manage the levy funds through the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation. It provides details on current and planned projects focused on measuring production performance, early disease detection, breeding programs, and food safety research.

Presentation given the Fédération Internationale des Patrouilles de Ski (FIPS) in Big White, Canada, April 2014.
Ski patrols are often thought of by resorts as a cost, with only the benefit of sweeping up the incidents that inevitably occur. But what if the ski patrol could produce something of tangible value?
By using smartphones to collect data from the incident scene, ski patrollers can cut time and improve patient care. Resorts can benefit from this data through a better understanding of how and why an accident or incident occurs. This is tied to an understanding of the effectiveness of preventative actions. Cost savings can be realised through lower insurance premiums to the resort, and if we have less incidents, we have a better chance of that customer returning to become a lifetime customer.
This document discusses how smartphones can be used to improve safety and efficiency in ski patrol operations. It presents the problems with current paper-based systems, including delays in patient care and double data entry. The document then outlines how smartphones could allow patients to report accidents themselves, provide GPS location to speed response times, and enable patrol members to collect and share accident information and photos in real-time. Case studies from other industries like surf life saving that have successfully adopted mobile technologies are presented. The document argues that smartphones can enhance safety, customer experience and help resorts reduce insurance costs. It envisions a future where patient medical data can be seamlessly shared between the mountain and hospitals.
UpWater is developing an innovative point-of-use water treatment device called SODIS X, along with an educational program and sustainable distribution model. SODIS X uses sunlight to quickly disinfect water, and field trials in rural Thailand found it was effective and that over half of participants continued using it. UpWater combines this product with social programs to raise awareness of water quality issues and promote behavior change, and a market-based approach to local production and sales in order to provide sustainable access to safe drinking water.

27. Keep watch actions for
preventing drowning
Keep Watch is a comprehensive drowning prevention and water safety program for children
under five. The Keep Watch program has four key drowning prevention actions:
• Supervise - Active supervision means focusing all of your attention on your children all of the
time, when they are in, on or around the water. iSwimband acts as an additional aid to the
supervision process.
• Restrict Access - Restricting a child’s access to water can be done by placing a barrier
between the child and the water. This can be done with pool fencing by using a Child Safe
Play Area.
• Water Awareness - Water awareness combines a range of strategies including water
familiarisation, checking for and removing water hazards and setting rules around water.
• Resuscitate - Many children are alive today because their parents knew how to perform CPR
and responded quickly. iSwimband encourages everyone to learn CPR.
